Give peas a chance

It is breakfast time in the Mayo household and already I find my mind wandering to Nigel's promised pea risotto. This seems a tad early I know and maybe in part due to the fact that I am breaking my fast with peanut butter and marmite on toast. It is a classic but best eaten at teatime really. It's a symptom of tiredness and the need for comfort food I think. Must do better than 5 hours...Anyway Nigel in after 6 tonight to make even you even hungrier on the journey home.

Signs you are aging fast part 1. It's just taken me 5 minutes to unwrap a CD and the last part to come off was the 'easy tear off' strip. Ho hum. However the cd was from Kathryn Tickell so was well worth the humiliation.

And don't forget the final part of songs for hard working families today so it's songs for kids today in the box below. I thank you.

Right - I have said my bit...better get on with the day...Maundy Thursday, 2 services to take and tonight a very special Maundy Thursday celebration to remember Jesus Last Supper with His disciples. Then tomorrow it is Good Friday of course.....Resurrection on Sunday...followed by HOLIDAY!! Yippee!

Having a dull day in temp land. Tired from going out last night but it was a good night nonetheless. Also miffed at reports that Cesc Fabregas might have a broken leg - hmph. And waiting for a call from the agency about the interview I had on Tuesday pm.

Anyways up, Good Morning, Each! (Been forgetting my manners, there)What I would really like to hear is 'Mothers Lament' by Cream. It's about a tiddy baby, was (somewhat unbelievably) on the Disreali Gears album, and at least shows that even a "supergroup" has a sense of humour. Please, Simon (best ingratiating smile.....no, COME BACK!)

In my never ending quest to get James played on Radio 2 - Summer Song please. It's about Tim Booth's son being born and the experience as seen from the baby's point of view. Not as weird as it's sounds - honest guv! Trust me I'm an accountant...

'The Kids Are All Right' by The Who 'The Kids Aren't All Right' by The Offspring.

Actually, I would much prefer to hear 'Mothers Lament' by Cream, but I am nervous as I have already posted the request more than a few times. In my defense though, I was asking for it on Tuesday(Mothers) but it fits better today. I don't think I'm up to my limit of 7.(Once again treats the Wombles to the ingratiating smile....;-)

Decided against Kent. Will do it on Saturday which has become free ..because

[#31 SpikeyBunny re. Easter break with family/friends. You too]

.... was expecting daughter No2 back from hols in Egypt - she has decided to stay there. Her and friend offered work for 6 months. Sudden empty nest syndrome. Am happy for her - travelling rite of passage and all that - but shocked at how gutted I am feeling ..:(

#53 I am menshless also. Have been for a good while now after a brief flurry in The Show's nascent days. Still chipper though!#59 Shop online next time! I have found the service that begins with an "O" to be very reliable.

Tortie, No mentions for me either but that could be because I suggest a) songs with naughty words in or b) songs by Radiohead that don't get played on Radio 2 or c) any song (other than the tiresome Sit Down) by James that never get played on Radio 2 either..ho hum...

Love the show, the host, myself, the staff, the other blogpoppets, the mods, the tweeters, the browsers, the callers, the emailers, the face bookers, the ones that don't even know the show exists (shame on you)

I shall now withdraw from the keyboard, to spend some quality time with my till. I will, hopefully return later, puffed up like a peacock, due to my successful request for 'Mothers Lament' by Cream. I will, of course, be keeping at least one ear cocked, and scanning for menshes. Good luck, each, and adieu.

Deebee - I don't believe you have finally found a Level 42 record that fits...... What took you so long? Actually, 'It runs in the Family' has been a bit of an ear worm for me all week.

Why is it that as soon as I think of something and post it, several much better choices come up - Little Children being one of them. That has also sent me off on another tangent, what about Young Girl, Garry Pucket and the Union Gap?

Failing that - Two little boys by the octagenarian (sp) Rolf Harris would be great......

Hey folks - did you know that Simon's on holiday next week? I wonder what will happen to the blog. Will we carry on tomorrow's blog for the whole week? I'm going to be away myself for a few days from Tuesday, but I was hoping to pop on from time to time. Richard Madeley's standing in, but I can't imagine he'll be doing the theme of the day thing.

I can confirm that the CLP blog carries on if Chris is not there - one thing you need to be aware of is that if you go over 500 posts, there is a next button that you need to press to get the next 500 and so on. This catches a lot of people out so the one who is posting at 500, 1000 etc usually shouts NEXT to remind others that this has happened.

Mind you, it is quite funny if somebody hasn't noticed this and thinks that their post has disappeared so they repeat it 3 or 4 times.....

I estimate that if Simon is away for a week, this blog should get to the heady heights of 550 posts - gwan prove me wrong.
